Athletics Carnival
The Maroondah/Manningham and Yarra Division Athletics Carnival was held in Week 1 (6/10). After a super successful Districts Carnival, 16 students competed in the track, field and relay events. Once again our students did a fantastic job competing again students across the different divisions. As students move though each carnival the level of competition and abilities rise and each student needs to be at their best to progress to the next level. All our students who competed on the day should be very proud of their efforts and I encourage them to reflect on the day and share their experience with their peers.
Congratulations to the following students for making it through to Region;
Asher Berka - 1st shot put
Isaac Ladd - 1st Discus 1st High jump
Jai Kennedy - 1st 80m Hurdles
Lenny Clarke - 2nd 80m Hurdles
Seamus O’Rourke - 1st 80m Hurdles 2nd Long Jump
Hayden McCLaren - 2nd 200m
Prep Grandparent's Concert
The Preps were host to their grandparents and special friends last Tuesday. With the help of Mrs Knoll, Bu Rumble and Mrs Waddell they performed two songs 'I Lava You' and 'Di Tanah Pertanian (Happy Farm)', and presented a beautiful grandparent portrait. Thank you to the Grade 6s who came to support their buddy by playing ukulele! We also had a picnic in the lovely sunshine in the afternoon. Enjoy!
Choir
Last Monday, Junior and Senior Choir performed during lunch time as students filled the deck area to enjoy the songs in the sunshine. Choir members have given up numerous lunch times to rehearse and should be very proud of their efforts. Junior Choir students also overcame nerves to perform at assembly in the first week of this term, with Senior Choir performing at assembly this coming Friday. A big thank you to Mr Somerville for playing piano accompaniment!
